Rain to unveil three-point plan to improve DAs Office

CANTON – The primary races hae been decided, the caucuses have been held and the children are back in school.

And now it is time for the race for the districts attorney race to get interesting,

Republican candidate Mary Rain announced late Tuesday night she will unveil her three-point plan for improving the St. Lawrence County District Attorneys Office during a noon Wednesday news conference at the County Courthouse, 48 Court St. Ms. Rain said she has support from several homicide victims families who are still seeking justice and want change in the District Attorneys Office.

Our current district attorney has created a culture of disorganization and disengagement within her office, said Rain. Tardy prosecutions and lax plea deals have put criminals back on our streets while victims are denied justice. My opponent blames everyone but herself for these failures. Im running to bring back

accountability to an office that has run far too long without it.

Rain said she drew on her three decades of experience as a police officer, prosecutor and defense attorney to create an agenda that can be implemented on day one. It will include a renewed focus on timely prosecutions, technology upgrades and improved communication with law enforcement partners.

Victims of crime in St. Lawrence County have suffered for far too long because of my opponents mismanagement, said Rain. I am working hard to get elected so that I can help bring the D.A.s office into the 21 century - and give deserved justice to the victims and their families.
